Mango Dragonfruit-Style Refresher

Mango nectar brings body, but it is diluted with green tea and lime so the finished drink remains bright. Freeze-dried dragonfruit supplies the vivid magenta color and small black-speckled pieces associated with the café version. Shake before pouring because the fruit powder settles faster than the juice blend.
